in Function Analysis

When dealing with people who are struggling to type themselves, we often see people report living inside their own minds, or inside their own fantasy world. They’ll frame it in various ways, or express it in varying extremes, but that’s the general idea. More often than not, people are assuming (whether consciously or subconsciously) that […]

There are so many buzzwords associated with Ti, to the extent that sometimes it feel like the function departs from reality into some distant idealistic realm. Since I am a dominant Ti user (ISTP, specifically), I feel somewhat responsible for dragging it back down to earth, hence the reasons why I keep publishing Ti-specific articles. […]

I’ve noticed that I have a tendency to subconsciously theme when it comes to article writing. Once my mind gets rolling on a subject, it’s hard to walk away until I’ve explored it deeply. Lately, my focus has been one of exploring Introverted Feeling, or Fi. Of course, it’s not that I have Fi in […]

Initially, when typing characters or people, I tend to rely on what I can best describe as a radar or gut typing. I grab my initial impression of them and see if it fits. I think it’s the result of having Se/Ni in the middle. I don’t lean too heavily on observation or impression. I […]

Se, or Extraverted Sensing, gets associated with so many things. Good reflexes. Physical Skills. Athletics. Observation. Truthfully, much of this is anecdotal, and unfair to other types. Are we really going to say that other types can’t have skills? That’s stupid. We can all receive training, and improve our reflexes. As we (PracticalTyping) say over […]

Introverted Sensing, or Si, seems to be a function that both gets a lot of flak for being boring, basic, and easy to understand, but also gets completely mischaracterized and misunderstood. You may have heard it said, generically speaking, that Si essentially chalks up to memory or remembering things. People claim that its detailed nature […]

We often say around here that Ti and Fi are the identity functions. However, if you speak to the average Ti dominant, you’ll likely learn that they don’t consider themselves to have much of an identity. In fact, you might learn that they don’t know themselves all that well, or that they lack a sense […]

Every time we sit down to write a general article on inferior functions, we run into issues, because the inferior function can manifest in a multiple different ways or directions. (5 ways that we were able to think of, to be specific.) The topic can actually be extremely complex… just like people. People exist at […]

in Function Analysis, Typing Dilemmas

Generally speaking, this is the wrong question to be asking. There are some similarities between the dichotomies (N, S, T, F), but as a whole, they are not very reliable when defining your personality type. You see, there is this misconception out there that in order to be able to have an abstract thought, you […]

The longer you are immersed in the world of type, the more patterns and parallels you start to see emerge, sometimes between functions and placements that you wouldn’t even expect. One of those instances will be the subject of today’s article. I have noticed that function placement can do a lot in the way of […]
